It is said that at about 7:00am today, the state police had ‘pre-emptively’ deployed heavily armed policemen in the court premises to rein in, in anticipation of a crisis, if the judgement had gone otherwise.

In the ongoing tax fraud case involving Lionel Messi, his father and Spain, the prosecutors don’t see eye to eye.

The public prosecutor has suggested that the Albiceleste captain be acquitted of any wrongdoing, with the Government prosecutor asking for the Barcelona star to be handed a prison sentence of 22 months and 15 days.

On Thursday, the five time golden ball winner stated he didn’t know anything about the fraudulent activities, with his father in full support of the claim.

Public prosecutor Raquel Amado contended that Jorge Messi was the man responsible for defrauding the Spanish tax office and should face 18 months in prison, while the Argentina forward should be acquitted.

“If there is any doubt, Lionel Messi should be acquitted,” Amado told the court.

“Any fraud is down to his father, who takes care of his economic and fiscal management.”

Government prosecutor Mario Maza, representing the interests of the Spanish tax office, claimed Lionel Messi’s argument had “zero credibility” and recommended a prison sentence of close to two years for father and son.

In the light of the two major governorship elections – Edo and Ondo – coming up in 2016, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has warned that if the leadership crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not resolved soon, the party stands the risk of not participating in the Edo state gubernatorial election.

This message was disclosed on Thursday by the Deputy Director for Public affairs of INEC, Nick Dazang, during a programme on Ray Power FM Radio Station titled “Political Platform.”

He said: “I expect that a very responsible party, a formidable party for that matter like the PDP will put its acts together in time for it particularly to collect the forms for those that will conduct the elections in Edo and Ondo and also to conduct the primaries that will lead up to who will now be their standard bearer for Edo governorship election to be conducted on Saturday 10 September.

“The primaries are supposed to take place between 2nd June and 4th July. So, we expect that between now and then the PDP should be able to resolve some of these issues in the interest of that election.”

Dazang also maintained that INEC is yet to take a position on the leadership crisis rocking the leading opposition party.

He said: “The PDP, as we have said is in a state of flux. In spite of what happened in Port Harcourt, the Commission was there because it was invited and by law we are supposed to be invited 21 days to a convention or congress.”

“We sent a high powered team led by a national commissioner to monitor the convention. They have submitted their report as at now but the Commission is yet to take a position in terms of who is supposed to be the chairman of the party.”

Dazang warned the disputing groups not to resort to court to resolve their differences because such would be time wasting.

He said, “In this instance when we are pressed for time if the parties in the dispute resort to court, it is going to take long it before the issues are resolved and they collect these forms.

“So we advise that they resolve some of these issues in good time to collect the forms so that they can hold the primaries and the candidates that will contest under their platform can emerge. They have between now and 4th July to do that.

“We normally encourage them. We have a department that relates particularly with the political parties to ensure the processes we laid out and articulated in the timetable and schedule of activities are strictly and religiously followed and we expect them to that.”

Nigerians are becoming increasingly worried, disappointed and peeved with President Muhammadu Buhari, over his failure to make good on his promise to reveal details of stolen loots recovered from corrupt officials.

On May 14, the president, while attending the anti-corruption summit in London, had stated that he would personally disclose the details of all recovered stolen public funds and individuals who plundered the country’s resources.

He said: “So far, what has come out, what has been recovered in whatever currency from each ministries, departments and individuals, I intend on the 29th to speak on this because all Nigerians are getting from the mass media because of the number of people arrested either by the EFCC, DSS. But we want to make a comprehensive report on the 29th,” Mr. Buhari said while attending the anti-corruption summit in London.

On Sunday morning, May 29, 2016, during his nationwide broadcast, the president did not speak on it, but said:

“We are also engaged in making recoveries of stolen assets some of which are in different jurisdictions. The processes of recovery can be tedious and time consuming, but today I can confirm that thus far: significant amount of assets have been recovered. A considerable portion of these are at different stages of recovery.”

Buhari then said he had instructed the Ministry of Information to periodically publish details on the assets recovered so far.

“Full details of the status and categories of the assets will now be published by the Ministry of Information and updated periodically. When forfeiture formalities are completed these monies will be credited to the treasury and be openly and transparently used in funding developmental projects and the public will be informed,” Mr. Buhari said.

Speaking on Channels Television on Sunday evening, Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information, told Nigerians that the details would be published before the end of this week.

“We will get the list but not today; before the end of the week. But I must say not with the names,” he said.

Corroborating with the minister of information, a moment later, the presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, said on Twitter:

“The minister should be ready with this (details of recovered assets) when work resumes, possibly Wednesday or Thursday.”

On Thursday, millions of Nigerians stayed glued to the radio and TV as they were expecting to hear the announcement as promised by their leader.

As at 9:00pm yesterday, Nigerians waited and waited in vain for the announcement of the details of the stolen assets recovered and also the looters of the nation’s coffer.

As at 2:00pm on Friday, June 3, 2016, Nigerians are still waiting in apparent futility.

Johnny Depp’s assistant, Stephen Deuters, has stated that the purported text messages which claimed he had knowledge of Johnny Depp being physically abusive towards Amber Heard prior to their marriage were fake.

Deuters said the messages which surfaced on ET, Thursday, (June, 2) have been fabricated as he has never seen 52-year-old Depp attack Amber before or during their 15-month marriage and neither has he ever had such conversation with anyone.

In fact, he’s ready to prove it in a court of law.

According to areport, Stephen Deuters who will testify under oath against Amber Heard said Johnny has never been violent towards anyone he knows.

Deuters added that the texts themselves were suspicious because they don’t even have any date.

Johnny Depp’s assistant, Stephen Deuters describes texts as fake

In a snip of the message conversation between two recipients claimed to be Deuters and Amber Heard, the actress wrote, “And definitely wouldn’t say to me he doesn’t deserve it. I’m sad that he doesn’t have a better way to really know the severity of his actions yesterday. Unfortunately for me, I remember in full detail everything that happened.”

Her recipient, assumed to be Stephen replied, “He was appalled. When I told him he kicked you, he cried. It was disgusting. And he knows it. I wasn’t with him when he”… and the message broke off.

The chat continued with, the recipient claiming to be Depp’s assistant writing, “Sent you the second text. He read it to me and I said it was the wrong text to send. He then sent the third one and sat and cried again after on the bed. He’s a little lost boy. And needs all the help he can get. He is so very sorry, as he should be.”

Amber responded, “He’s done this many times before. Tokyo, the island, London (remember that?!), and I always stay. Always believe he’s going to get better…And then every 3 or so month [sic], I’m in the exact same position.”
